Education For Sale Because Who Controls The Children Can Control A Nation

Sad to see the state of affairs in America today. There is a weeping going on across America today, reminder of when Rachel wept for the Jewish babies being slaughtered by a power hungry leader who did not want to give up his throne. Wonder if today's leaders remember the demise of such a person?

America is going through a cleansing--having to choose between love for children and love for money/power. For those fighting against Common Core, the truth is so stark when you hear the awesome, fact-filled and incredible presentation of Dr. Duke Pesta. We have other speakers all around the country, and they like Dr. Pesta are sounding the alarm and daring the other side to discount the truth. They tried by using a finalist for National Teacher of the Year, to present the case for the wonderful Common Core as was seen in Alabama's Al.com article.

Too bad she hadn't seen this video of David Coleman, author of CC, saying "Teachers will teach to the test-no force strong on earth to prevent"...here's video so you can see and hear it for yourself (hope someone will share it with her):

And here is the link to a complete presentation that in minutes will take your breath away as it confronts the problem in your state with the leadership--please share:

Here's a teacher who wants all to know the truth and fight for the children--thanks to our wonderful patriot--Becky Gerritson for giving true educators a way to express their heartbreak for the breaking of children going on...

Many states are trying to get out--there is a Stop Common Core on fb for your state--look it up and join them and learn then act and like George Washington and the Founding Fathers be sure to bend your knees and bow your head and ask God for miracles. He is able and He is soo needed. If you love your child it is time to act.

In Alabama there is a bill brought forth called SB101 and it is wonderful.

Here are suggestions for action:

Save these links please and share with all who care for children.

Please be sure to send emails and tweet to the Education Committees in both Senate and House--here are Alabama Representatives Twitter handles ( https://archive-it.org/collections/3683)--please send emails, tweet and these videos to your Representatives and Senators...and to both Senate and House Education Committee members (when sending email letter of your problem with CC please forward a copy to Alabamaeagle@gmail.com to make sure someone knows you sent one--It probably helps to send it to 2 or three legislators at a time--so they all see each other is getting your letter (they won't be able to deny you a citizen shared your concern--we need lots sent before March 18th please!!

Here's a letter from Alabama Eagle Forum--Eunie Smith--please act as now is the time!

FROM EAGLE FORUM OF ALABAMA

Dear Friend,

If we are to stop the distress, the dumbing down, and the indoctrination of all our children through common core; if we are to restore state control over education policy in Alabama; if we are to replace common core with the best of the best standards in the nation that reflect Alabama values, YOU will have to act NOW!!! And ask all your like-minded friends to do the same. We need an avalanche of emails to the legislature.

Sen. Rusty Glover (R) has introduced SB101 . It will re-establish local and state control of education; terminate implementation of the Common Core standards; direct the State Board to replace these standards with the Math and English courses in use immediately prior to Common Core; convene Course of Study committees to update these standards and improve upon them using the pre-common core standards from states whose national scores ranked no less than the top 10%; implement these proven, improved standards and aligned assessments; prohibit imposition on Alabama of other such national standards or assessments that cede control away from Alabamians.

1. Call or email these Senators and thank them for co-sponsoring SB101 and let them know if you are their constituent. Glover, Reed, Melson, Allen, Brewbaker, Hightower, Albritton, Bussman, Stutts, Smith, Shelnutt, Sanford. Tell them briefly why your family wants common core replaced.

2. Please email and call your state senator and Sen. Del Marsh and Gov. Bentley and tell them briefly why your family wants common core replaced. Ask them to put SB101 on a fast track!

3. Call or email your House member and Speaker Hubbard. Tell them briefly why you oppose common core. Ask them to replace common core this legislative session.

Alabama’s children will be increasingly stifled, frustrated, and controlled if common core continues. We are on the wrong road and we need to turn around before we become hopelessly lost. We must stand for what works to give our children the tools they need to reach their fullest God-given, self-chosen potential. It is up to you.

Children are not for sale--leaders are using our state legislature like stock exchanges--selling to the highest bidder your child and America's future. Please thank and support those that are helping to pass SB101 and confront while praying for the souls of the others. Also Charter schools will be common core compliant in a couple of years if passed----wake up and don't sell out the children!! Even Presidential Candidates are getting it why not them?

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7

The Founders knew where power came from--get informed and act--inaction is not an option as it will result in you losing not just children but a country.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6

Remember these words in the Declaration of Independence (in the beginning and end of the matter--there's God.)

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights...

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
